I think it is because of water leaking from the tap. Does anyone know a cheap way to fix it because when I move out, I am sure I will be charged a huge amount of money for the damage.

Brittney W asked:


The house we are interested in has been damaged by fire on the lower levels which includes 2 of the bedroom, garage, and the guest bath. Structurally the house is sound, was built in the late 1800-early 1900’s. My uncled is willing to sell it to me for an extreamly good deal, but our only concern is the fact that it most likely needs to be completely rewired. The top level which icludes living room, dining room, kitchen, master bath, master bedroom, and guest bedroom have no damage except soot.
I am interested in a rough estimate for what it might cost to completely rewire the house doing an almost complete demo on the bottom, and while keeping upstairs almost completely intact to maintain the homes integrity.
I know to have an electrician look at it, we are, but i would like as many opinions possible to make this decision.
The fire was not caused due to an electrical problem. It was caused by a small space heater.

Hi, about 2 weeks ago I was in my ex boyfriend’s attic (with his permission! lol) and he noticed a crack, which turned into a hole when I slipped and almost fell through into the bedroom! If you lie in bed you can now see right through to the attic; while it could be considered a design feature, my ex isn’t keen on it :-) It’s not very big, probably only 1.5ft square if that but obviously the plaster is missing, one of the lathes (think that’s what they’re called; the thin pieces of wood just behind the plaster) is broken in half and poking throught he hole and little bits of the fibreglass indsulation are falling down. My ex told his landlord who said it would cost £150 to repair the damage, but I’m convinced my ex could do it himself…but how? Any ideas? I have been offered a large piece of plasterboard, could he use this in any way and would he have to enlarge the hole to replace the entire lathe? How does he replaster…etc - help please!

lady asked:


We are painting the bedrooms.
Bedroom 1 had red paint. We primed it. Then put one coat of taupe semi gloss. Looks good.
Bedroom 2 had light aqua. painted it with white. Then taupe semi gloss. Both coats show streaks. Will one more coat of taupe help? Is it the way we are painting? Is there a best method to paint?

thanks for your time.
